[DAILYCALLER] Bill Maher went after Islam Friday night on his HBO show "Real Time."Now he's going to have to check his car pretty careful before starting it.
With the Nigerian Islamist terrorist group Boko Haram
... not to be confused with Procol Harum, Harum Scarum, possibly to be confused with Helter Skelter. The Nigerian version of al-Qaeda and the Taliban rolled together and flavored with a smigeon of distinctly Subsaharan ignorance and brutality...
kidnapping hundreds of teenage girls to sell into slavery, the Sultan of Brunei establishing the repressive Sharia law in his country and Islam critic Ayaan Hirsi Ali's honorary degree being rescinded by Brandeis University, Bill Maher pointed his finger at Islam as a major problem in the world today.
Allan sez slavery's fine. Just read the Koran and you're okay. Ask Qaradawi if you don't believe me. The sultan of Brunei does't think anybody's opinion count but Allan's, and he's the interpreter of Allan's will. And it's just terrible the way Ayan Hirsi Ali ran all those Moslems out of the Netherlands by trying to kill them.
"Islam is the problem, correct. All religions are the problem, but especially this one," the ardent atheist Maher told some of his liberal guests who were offended by his attacks on the faith.
The equivalence thing is pretty weak by now, Bill. The last auto-da-fe was three or four hundred years ago. The last head chopping was yesterday afternoon.
Earlier in the discussion of Islam, conservative author and filmmaker Dinesh D'Souza argued that "there's a civil war in the mind of the liberal."
Actually, libs appear pretty focused to me. There's not a lot of actual dissent allowed within their ranks.
"On the one hand you're a defender of individual rights and minorities and if this were the Catholic Church, you'd be all on it," he explained.
Libs are big on some individual rights and some minorities. Most of them have to do with sexual orientation.
"But on the other hand you're committed to multiculturalism
Somebody came up with that stupid statement that "our strength lies in our diversity." It's a statement that's stupid on its face and they've made it a guiding light.
and Islam is a victim and we don't want to make the Mohammedans feel bad.
They're the ones who blow up cars and chops people's heads off and crucify people. Best to remain quiet, keep your head down, and they'll kill you last.
And so these two impulses have got to be brokered, one against the other. And that's why there is a protection of Islam. The problem isn't the Mohammedans. The problem is all the multiculturalists on campus who protect and defend them."
